Commonwealth

Commonwealth is a group of countries and territories that have Britain at their center. These countries have a special relationship and work together to help each other. They share their culture, history, language, and values. Some parts of the Commonwealth even have the same head of state, usually the King or Queen of Britain. This means that when the King or Queen of Britain visits one of the countries of the Commonwealth, like Australia, for example, people there greet them with respect and excitement. With the Commonwealth, countries can also come together to help with different issues, like improving education, fighting diseases, and helping with environmental protection.
